EOLIAN project EU

EOLIAN partner and communication and dissemination lead The European Composites Industry Association; EuCIA visited Dresden this week for #JECForumDACH 2025. Organised by JEC in partnership with AVK, this highly-focused composites event fosters innovation, business development and cross-border collaboration. An ideal opportunity for EuCIA to share information about #EOLIAN and its mission to develop novel wind turbine blades based on vitrimer composites, as well as PLEIADES project, which is exploring vitrimer applications in aerospace. Both projects align perfectly with EuCIA's latest initiative to advance composites circularity, the European Circular Composites Alliance. #composites #vitrimers #circulareconomy #sustainability #innovation #europe #ECCA

This month EOLIAN partner Tekniker took part in the #EURADH 2025 congress to showcase its latest advances in vitrimer resin formulation. During the event, Tekniker presented innovative solutions designed to improve the recyclability of resins employed for adhesive systems, highlighting its commitment to developing sustainable materials. In #EOLIAN Tekniker is collaborating with project partners to develop new vitrimer composites for more sustainable wind turbine blades.

💡Creating a circular future for wind energy! The wind industry is committed to full sustainability, from innovation that makes turbines last longer and need less maintenance, to repurposing and recycling of components at the end of their service life. Turbine blades, manufactured from strong, durable composite materials that are inherently challenging to recycle, are a particular focus of attention. #EOLIAN proposes a new generation of blades with enhanced lifetime, maintainability, reliability, sustainability, and recyclability. This will be achieved through a combination of advanced materials and technologies: repairable and recyclable bio-based vitrimer resins, high-performance natural fibres, and embedded sensors and actuators enabling real-time damage detection and de-icing. 🔽 Here's snapshot of our project's objectives, and you can discover more on our website https://lnkd.in/eQ5UVatX #windenergy #sustainability #blades #EoL #recycling #maintenance #repair #vitrimers #composites #basaltfibres #HorizonEurope

💡Aligning innovation! Earlier this year #EOLIAN joined a SALIENT Project cross-fertilisation workshop bringing together 16 EU-funded projects. The aim was to align innovation, share challenges, and explore future funding opportunities. 🌍 These projects span advanced materials, sustainable manufacturing, digital tools, and circular strategies, paving the way for lighter, smarter and greener industries. 📄 A summary of the insights gained from the workshop is now available, highlighting the advancements and opportunities driving Europe’s green and digital transition. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/ekzcpCWw #windenergy #blades #sustainability #circularity #biobased #materials #composites #vitrimers #EUinnovation #funding #manufacturing REFRESH project EU PLEIADES project

[ MEET OUR PARTNERS ] This week we present Zorlu Energy Group, an integrated energy company based in Turkiye with more than 30 years of experience in renewable energy. As a wind energy producer, investor and operator Zorlu Enerji is ideally placed to lead the #EOLIAN project's #exploitation activities, supporting the establishment of end-to-end supply chains and ensuring successful technology and knowledge transfer for rapid market acceptance. To accelerate market acceptance of the EOLIAN technologies it is essential to demonstrate their technical and economic viability through robust pilot implementations, ensure compliance with industry standards, and actively engage key stakeholders across the wind energy value chain. Raising awareness about the environmental and operational benefits of these innovations will further enhance confidence and facilitate widespread adoption.

#EOLIAN – new blade materials offering improved recyclability and sustainability. ✅ EOLIAN blades will be manufactured using vitrimers, a new class of polymer that enables recyclable composite materials. ✅ EOLIAN is exploring the use of novel bio-based vitrimers combined with natural basalt fibre reinforcements to manufacture highly sustainable composites. ✅ Vitrimers also exhibit ‘self-healing’ properties, making it possible to repair minor blade damage on-site by localised heating.
